we had a neighborhood watch when i lived in detroit growing up. they were always driving around in vehicles that look like cop cars. when someone tried to break into our house i called them and the police. the police got there much quicker. lol.

i'm starting to think the lions will take a qb this year... and trade up from 24 to do it.

i really want to like you, killian. but man, you have to do something at some point. 25 minutes and 2 points just isnt going to cut it. -
a school gets shot up in michigan. horrible. terrible. senseless random act of violence that we are all appalled by and search for a solution to never happen again. 820 murders in chicago? no big deal. drive by shootings in bucktown killing one and injuring five? no cause for alarm. in fact, if youre bothered by that enough to try to do something about it, you're just overreacting because crime is much worse four blocks over.

were they very concerned about the VIGILANTE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH patrolling the streets in the name of fascists? no? probably wise of them.

jacksonville is one of the worst organizations in the league. the bears arent top tierz but theyre better than jacksonville. no way i would go there.
-
if i were worried about him leaving, i would worry about him going to the bears.

corral will be the first qb taken and he will be in the top 10. maybe even top 5. i bet at least three qbs go in round 1.
-
but they're police reports. what's fake about that information?
-
wait until they take matt corral...

"people post." you can say my name, i'm a big boy. what's wrong with cwb?

an armed security force of off duty cops? nothing wrong with that when youre facing drive by shootings and shutting down north/milwaukee/damen on saturday nights after hours. its like a neighborhood watch group. of course, if youre uninformed about what's happening in those areas, you probably think nothing is amiss about 57 carjackings in december this year as opposed to 37 last year and 7 in 2019. nothing to see here.

i dont see how. are they going to unionize? a draft a follow system like hockey might work.

the mayor of san francisco of all places just came out and gave a big anti crime speech and is requesting more money for police officers. saying they've been too easy on criminals and its time for tough love. the former mayor of philly just came out and said woke white people's racism is abetting crime in black neighborhoods with their soft on crime stances. so the tide may be turning as democrat mayors realize people are pissed about crime in their expensive city neighborhoods. chicago has 821 murders this year. more than new york. more than los angeles. that should be unacceptable for politicians in charge of the city.

https://cwbchicago.com/2021/12/armed-men-rob-at-least-13-people-across-north-side-including-a-group-of-8-victims-who-were-walking-in-lakeview.html 13 people mugged in lakeview in one night. https://cwbchicago.com/2021/12/amazon-truck-hijacked-in-lakeview-one-day-after-armed-men-confronted-an-amazon-driver-in-boystown.html right in front of my friend's million dollar house. the same friend who had someone try to carjack him in his garage a couple months before. https://cwbchicago.com/2021/12/thieves-confront-diners-at-roscoe-village-restaurant-getting-away-with-wallets-and-purse-cpd-report-says.html at le sud in roscoe village. they walked into the restaurant and just mugged people and then left. is that ok? is that safe? i would argue things are getting a bit out of hand, even in the safer neighborhoods in town.

when is the last time you were in bucktown? my friend owns a bar on milwaukee near the six corners of milwaukee/damen/north. people come and shut down the street on weekends. just park their cars in the middle of the street and shut the whole intersection down for hours. local business leaders met with the cops who told them they could identify some of the biggest gang members in chicago there at the time. a couple weeks later there was a big driveby shooting right outside the bar. my buddy was also shot coming home from the bar a couple years ago. bucktown can get sketch at night. especially on the weekends. and have you seen what's going on in lincoln park and lakeview? robberies are up tremendously over last year. i dont know why youre so blase about it.

we've had a bunch of family gatherings. in the beginning we were concerned about it, but once the evidence got less convoluted we were ok meeting with family. since then we've had the granparents and great grandparents over many many times with no issues. everyone is vaxed and boosted now, i'm not worried at all.

you're thinking that harbaugh is a normal person. he's not. he's a freak. i dont think he's going anywhere.

is the equivalent cars or perhaps alcohol? if you give your kid a car and he kills someone, i dont think parents should be held liable criminally. however, if they give their kid alcohol and they kill someone they probably should. im not sure where guns fall on that scale, but its probably closer to alcohol considering guns are inherently dangerous.

michigan finished strong. still have some guys who might sign late too. getting a top 10 class out of this with the way they started is a testament to how important this year's results were for them. the next two years - if they can continue their success - might see them get closer to having top talent again.

dabo went so far to say that the transfer portal takes away from the focus on education. lord, give me the strength to lie and have no shame like dabo. one of the biggest cheaters in college football has the gall to say that the transfer portal belies college football's educational mission because clemson cant compete with other schools on nil money. that slimy pos is giving urban meyer a run for his money as the worst person in football. what a fucking phony.

i dont have faith in sheila, but i think holmes as a good choice, spielman was a good choice, and campbell was a good choice. i am cautiously optimistic that the lions are finally on the right track.

there is a less than zero chance jacksonville would trade a top 5 pick for decker. come on. there is an almost 0% chance they would trade anything more than a third rounder for him. a contender might give you a second. maybe. the rams might be crazy enough to give you a first but they've traded all their firsts!

it wouldnt surprise me to see 4 or 5 qbs taken in round one.
